I tried installing and copying over 10 different Vending.apk's to /system/app folder and none work!
A few older versions of markets(before WP7 look) installed and i could open them and browse apps but as soon as i push on the app button in market,try to install app or do anything else the market would crash.
I removed usual amount of unneeded apk's from /system/app folder,is there any apk's that require the market to work or it doesn't work period?
I noticed there was 4 or 5 Terminal.apk's in /system/app folder and i removed them are they needed for market to function or is it something else?I only removed the things i always remove besides Terminal.apk's.
Its a shame because other than market not working its a solid rom.

The new market posted works fine for me on EG22.
Don't think your problem is the vending.apk. You either removed somthing you shouldn't have or the version of ROM you are using has something broken in it. "Stock" odexed EG22 has no problems with the market.
I had no problem with the market in the stock deodexed rom either but I upgraded to the new market and am using it with no issues.

You probably right,time to put back some apk's and see which one is needed for market.
Did you try clearing data in the market app?
Please post the answer if you figure it out. I'm having the same problem.
Have you tried fixing permissions followed by a reboot after pushing the apk?

Never minnd,it appears that i removed apk needed fornmarket to function now they all work.
I haven't realize if any app has implemented smart update feature, because I always update my apps and leave it do it itself without looking at the size. But if it really done in the future, I wonder how system apps like Gapps update work. Can they just download the needed update and push it to the system apk? Because I know that android will push the updated apk to /data/app folder in every update and we have to replace it to system manually with Titanium or Root Explorer. So does anybody can answer this?

I'm going to try transplanting these apks into a Sprint Stock 4.1.2 ROM zip and installing. I'll let ya know what happens after.
Great work! Do you have the the original odexed apks available? Trying to install the gmail app as an apk on stock unrooted 4.1.2.

Huh? The Gmail app is a system app. It needs to be installed to /system/app. You cannot install it without root access.

You can side load updated versions of system apps without root access, and you get a notice that the app will replace a current system app but preserve user data. Whenever the Play Store app is updated and gets extracted and posted all over the forums, I just side load, agree to the warning and proceed. However, the system app that is being side loaded needs to be in an installable apk format which I understand to be its native odex format.

Although I'm no expert, I believe it still won't work. The reason you can install the apk extracted from the Play Store is because it is not a system app. It gets installed to /data/app. Apk's that come with a stock build are system apps, and cannot be installed into /data/app. They need to be installed into /system/app. Nothing can replace anything that is stored in /system unless you have root access. (/system is mounted as read-only in Android.)

If I can get an odex'ed apk I'll either prove myself wrong or show everyone a way to side load an updated system app without root.

Be my guest. Here ya go: http://www.androidtaskforce.com/2012/11/01/download-lg-nexus-4-system-dump/
Just an update. I was able to insert a few of the apps into an install zip and get them working with no problems. Wallet, keyboard, currents, play music, browser, Google +, and a couple others worked just fine. Gmail did not as I couldn't just insert all the framework apks as it would force close right away. Nothing ground breaking, but the new features are fun to see and experiment with.
The photosphere feature is very neat. I like the GPS embedded aspect of it too. YouTube seems to have a slicker interface. All in all 4.2 is very much improved over 4.1.2. I can't wait for that fresh aosp source!
Ok the system update crap has been driving me nuts.
so I finally got the deodex rooted ma7 update for the Note II (sprint) and its STILL bugging me about a system update ??
what gives? I installed deodex ma7 and ma7 modem.
am I missing something?
Accept the update, it will fail harmlessly and not ask you again.

The post above is correct. However to answer your question its bugging you to update cause the latest is MC2

Update. It will ask again in a few days. So it's not a very good answer. I believe there is an apk you can remove or freeze but I don't know what it is off hand. Sorry.

I didn't stay on the rom I was running long enough to see if it will ask again. Thx for pointing that out. But if you're running deodexed stock just install deodex stock mc2. Theres also the flashable mc2 modem and kernel. Its all in our android development section.

Installing MC2 is one way, but since MC2 kills both Wallet and your battery, I don't think it's a super great option.
Found an app called System Update, but so far even uninstalling it does not prevent the notification.
blargh...
I've now backed up and un-installed System Update, Smart Device Manager, Sprint DM Service, Sprint Installer, SysScope, Sprint Zone, and still, the notification is there upon reboot.
Logcat Extreme shows some weird stuff at the moment. It's showing something called SystemUpdateService verifying that the update zip is downloaded into /cache, but then it's also showing an error that says SystemUpdateService application does not exist. So what's running then? Maybe a dalvik cached copy. I'm going to reboot into twrp and wipe cache and dalvik and we'll see...

The APK you're looking for is FWUpgrade.apk
-go to /cache
-delete update file
-go to system/app
-Rename FWUpgrade.apk to FWUpgrade.apk.bak
-Accept the update and attempt to run(it will end the count down and do nothing)
-reboot phone and it'll never ask you again to update

So far as we know so far that's correct.
Possible exception that I haven't tested myself or seen anyone else yet either:
The xposed framework hack and any normal market version of Wallet doesn't work so far.
But there is another way to get working Wallet which is to use a patched wallet apk that doesn't need xposed framework. I am currently using that patched wallet apk and no xposed framework. Maybe that version will work on mc2 or maybe not. I haven't seen anyone say about it yet. All I've seen is that the regular market version of wallet plus xposed framework which works on ma7 does not work on mc2.
Battery life dont really seem much different to I me. And I never use wallet much anyhow.

Well... es explorer says there are no files in /cache including not the filename that logcat clearly shows. Yes I have show hidden files in settings and yes I'm rooted.
And... I already have no such apk named FWUpgrade.apk anywhere.
So I'm rather mystified. Because I still get the notification even after wiping both cache and dalvik in twrp and rebooting.

...ok so after all this, with all these apks deleted and the cache empty etc, then I went to the notification and accepted the update one more time, it failed of course. And now finally I think that cleared it.
So it's not enough to accept the update and let it fail.
It's not enough to delete (or freeze or rename etc) one or more apk's.
You have to do both. Disable the apk(s). Wipe cache or delete files in /cache. THEN accept the update and let it fail.

Thanks. I will stay on ma7 since I use Google wallet often. Plus the only real issue I'm having is the home button issue and sometimes the show gallery. Both I can deal with.

Still no more notification.
Yay!
Now just to figure out which of those eleventy-seven apk's I removed was the only one that actually mattered....
Maybe one of them was named FWUpdate.apk as the other Brian mentioned, and I just never saw it's filename because I was seeing the package name in Titanium or System Tuner Pro instead and maybe already uninstalled it before he posted.

I was deleting some system apps and know I can't update the PRL, Firmware, Profile, Sammy Software. Does anyone know what I could have deleted? I meant to add .bak to the file but obviously didn't do that. I'm Stock and rooted with some custom tweaks and add-ons. Any feedback is great appreciated.
you can't update firmware rooted anyway, but why don't you just flash your stock rom. it will restore every system app

Probably SprintDM
Yeah I don't have that one anymore, Thanks I'll put it back and see if that helps.
EDIT: With that apk back, I can now check for Samsung Software updates.
EDIT2: Added the Sprint_Installer.apk, SprintAndroidExtension.apk, and SprintSyncMLSvc.apk to restore the lost functions. Thanks for all the help guys, next time I'll won't be so delete happy.
